I caught wind of this just before the first episode aired and I've been hooked ever since.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8634332/

"The series follows a famous yet dysfunctional family of televangelists. It stars Danny McBride, John Goodman, Edi Patterson, Adam DeVine"

Written by and starring Danny McBride, that should say it all. If you’re a fan of his work in general I think you will love this.

This is just some ridiculous fun for the most part, but I think it’s well worth a watch.

A new episode comes out today with I can’t wait to watch, I was also happy to hear that it’s been renewed for a second season.

So good to have Danny back at the helm of a show, I miss Eastbound and Down.

Anyway, check it out, it definitely won’t be for everyone, but damn I find it hilarious.

4 episodes in - all in all I like it with some quibbles.

As always Goodman is outstanding. The two sons are just okay for me - a bit too on the nose if you know what I mean.

I give it a solid B overall and worth the watch,

Hey Dave, did you watch Eastbound and Down or Vice Principles? The OTN stuff is very much a Danny McBride thing. Agreed some my not enjoy it.

You'll definitely recognise a common style.
